Cat Cafe AU

[aceofcrows]

Welcome to the cat cafe -- Coffee and Cats!

It's a quiet, well-run cat cafe featuring a half dozen permanent residents and another half dozen adoptable cats. The coffee is good, fresh, and prompt, and the sole employee is ... well... he looks a bit like he should be in a gang with his height, long hair, and goatee. However, he's incredibly gentle, shy, and absolutely wonderful with cats and small children. (Even if he's afraid he will break something.)

Come in, find a seat, and enjoy the atmosphere. Open from 11am to 2pm and 6pm to 9pm every day.

Does he do tricks?

[Oikawa is familiar with dogs...]

[aceofcrows]

He will chase his mouse and bring it back to you. He'll probably chase down the treats if you toss them too. It's good exercise.

[shootykawa]

Are you telling me that he wants to catch my tosses?

[He throws a treat a ways away.]

[aceofcrows]

[the tabby goes tearing off after the treat, bats it around for a few moments and then noms it before trotting back over to Oikawa with a chirrup]

[shootykawa]

[Oikawa is completely enamored now. He throws another treat further away.]

Oh my god... he does want to catch my tosses.

[aceofcrows]

[laughing as he sets the cup of coffee down on the small table beside Oikawa]

He does. I'll go get his mouse for you.

[happy and amused as he heads off]

[shootykawa]

[Oikawa barely notices the coffee, he's just enjoying this cat right now.]

You're so pretty! I wonder what your name is...

[aceofcrows]

[he is wearing a cat collar with "Chester" on it. he butts his head up under Oikawa's hand... and tries to pull the treats out of his hands :E]

[shootykawa]

Awww... Hey!

[He wasn't expecting duplicity from a cat and now there are treats all over the floor. Chester wins this round.]

[aceofcrows]

[he hops down and bats a few around the room because it's so much better to chase them than just eat them. Oikawa has time to recover most of them if he wants.

Asahi comes out from the back a moment later]

Ah... everything okay?

[shootykawa]

[He's picked most of them up and he's giving the cat a more dubious look now.]

He tricked me! And he got a bunch of treats.

[aceofcrows]

Try this then.

[laughing as he tosses the mouse at Oikawa.

it doesn't make it though. Chester jumps up 3 feet off the ground, batting the mouse out of the air and then tearing off after it in a mad scrabble of glee.]

[shootykawa]

Whoa! He's got a good jump too.

[Yeah, Oikawa likes this cat.]

[aceofcrows]

He is and clever too. He probably won't be with us long. He's got too much personality for that.

[Chester get tired of chasing the mouse himself, and he picks it up carrying it over to Oikawa, dropping it at his feet and chirruping at him again]

[shootykawa]

So he's available to adopt?

[He picks up the mouse and does a fake out before tossing it to the side.]

[aceofcrows]

Yeah. We just got him a few days ago, and today's his first day visiting the cafe.

[Chester almost falls for the fakeout but he twists and dashes after the mouse going through a pile of pillows to get to it]

[shootykawa]

What if I want to take him home?

[Oikawa doesn't realize he said that out loud.]

[aceofcrows]

Ah... that... um...

I'll... get the paperwork and give owner a call if...

Are you sure?

[shootykawa]

What?

[He throws the mouse for Chester again, not paying much attention to Asahi. Sorry.]

[aceofcrows]

[he comes over and sits down next to Oikawa, intercepting the mouse and taking Oikawa's hand. he waits until he looks up at him]

Do you really want to see about adopting Chester? I... I thought... you didn't want a cat before...

[shootykawa]

It wasn't that I didn't want one, I just have never been around them. I didn't know they liked to chase things. And... he picked me.

[It means a lot to Oikawa that the cat came up to him immediately.]

[aceofcrows]

[smiles a little -- remembering an earlier conversation about how the personalities of the cats were just as important as the people who wanted them.

Chester done with this no attention to the cat thing, jumps up to flop beside Oikawa's hip]

Ah... some do. It's not the most common, especially him bringing the mouse back. If you're really interested in him, I'll call Owner and see if she can come down and discuss the adoption process with you.

[shootykawa]

That might be good. If I'm not going to be good with a cat, she should know it, right?

[aceofcrows]

[he smiles and leans over to press a kiss to Oikawa's temple]

Yeah. She'll know. Can you stay for a while or were you heading out after?

[shootykawa]

I can stay for a while.

[He's just petting the cat now that it's next to him.]

Is this... okay?
